Christmas Elf Journal Page

 It's the last design team project for December for TTCRD. I had to use the digital Christmas Elf. The journal page I wanted to use was my December Daily Day 6 because December 6th is the day the last design team project will be put on the blog. I have really enjoyed being on this design team. So, I colored in the digital and cut it out. Then added my title to the page Day 6 December Daily.  I just thought it was very fitting to the situation.

Challenges:

Christmas Penelope

 I am starting on making Christmas Journals for the season. So, for TTCRD I wanted to make my piece based on Christmas. I loved the versatility of Penelope No. 3 from Oddball designs. I colored in the digital with markers and watercolor pencils. I took some scrapbook paper and scraps to make the mini journal and add dimension to the background then glued the digital on top.

I am sorry I am not myself today I am dealing with some personal issues at the moment. Hopefully, my next post will be more like usual. 

Giant Mushroom Art Page

 I had the page made for about 2 years I washi taped and used watercolor to make the background. I thought the Giant Mushroom from Sheepski designs would be a cute focal point for this page. So, I used it for my August DT project for TTCRD. I added a label because it's a habit I have had lately. Then I added the phrase "It's a good day for a good day" which I thought went well with the gnomes. I admit it didn't turn out exactly how I saw it in my mind, but I like to make different pieces not identical ones every time. 

Challenges

Altered Guest Check

 I colored in Cream Tea Chalet from JMC. I am a huge fan of JMC's Teacup series. Each teacup has an individual look.  I added some washi tape, some words, and the colored digital onto a guest check. This is a simple project with multiple uses. For example, birthday cards to using it in a journal or a thank you for shopping card. Come visit more beautiful pieces from Through The Craft Room Door. 

Fox Birthday Card

I grabbed a pink polka dot cardstock.

I stamped the cardstock.

I colored in the digital Sleepy Time from All Dressed Up with markers.

I took a stencil from Walmart and colored in the 3 different designs.

I found a cute lace I thought would look good right behind the fox.

I then found a birthday sentiment to add.

Pocket Watch

 For Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

I used one of my collage masterborads to use as a surface.

Then I stenciled some Nuvo embellishment mousse.

I then started coloring the digital Pocket Watch from Dr. Digi.

I glued the pocket watch on then added gold glitter glue and some glossy accents for the middle of the pocket watch. 

I added some flower and butterflies to look like they are flying out of the pocket watch.

I think this piece symbolizes the happiness and busyness I have had the last few months. Also, I feel like my happiness is on the clock at the moment with the stuff I hope to someday be able to share with others.
